Over 8,500 entries
This informative dictionary contains over 8,500 entries on all aspects of [[environmental science]] and conservation. Social as well as scientific in [[focus]], it provides comprehensive coverage of the [[political|social]] aspect of environmental science (including treaties, organisations, and agencies relating to the environment) and [[ecology]], as well as biographies of key figures in the field. International in scope, it embraces a broad spectrum of environmental areas including sustainable development; biodiversity; conservation; environmental [[ethics]], [[philosophy]], and [[history]]; resource management; [[sociology]]; and policy on the environment. It also features over 30 highlighted entries on key topics, such as Air pollution, Chernobyl, El Niño, the [[Gaia hypothesis]], and Ozone depletion, and 10 appendices covering a range of related subjects including international environmental treaties, the Beaufort scale, the Richter scale, the geologic timescale, and web links.
The dictionary’s uniquely comprehensive approach places the subject of the environment firmly in a [[human]] as well as a scientific [[context]]. Concise and wide-ranging, this is an essential work of reference for students and professionals, and anyone with an interest in the environment and conservation.
